The Warriors haven't put up many stinkers this season, but Saturday night's 115-89 humiliation at the hands of the Clippers had enough of an unpleasant smell to suffice for the rest of the year.

The Warriors offered little resistance, yielding a season-high 52.2 percent field-goal shooting, and were nearly as awful on offense. Then, Stephen Curry and David Lee had to sit and watch the majority of the final 17:26 at the Staples Center as the Clippers built their highlight reel and their lead to as many as 39 points.

The Warriors (22-11) had their four-game winning streak snapped - a stretch that included Wednesday's 115-94 pasting of the Clippers at Oracle Arena. The Clippers (27-8), who have won a franchise-best 12 straight home games, seemed to be seeking some redemption against Golden State while stretching their Pacific Division lead over the Warriors to four games.

Chris Paul had a near-perfect night, piling up 27 points while missing only two shots and dishing out nine crowd-pleasing assists without committing a turnover. He has scored at least 20 points in seven consecutive games against the Warriors, his longest active streak against any opponent.

Blake Griffin, who shot a combined 26.1 percent from the floor in two losses to the Warriors this season, had 20 points on 8-of-12 shooting to go along with five rebounds and seven assists.

Curry came into the showdown averaging 27 points on 53.1 percent shooting, six assists and five rebounds against the Clippers. He played only 1:11 of the final 17 1/2 minutes, having to swallow a 10-point, five-assist and zero-rebound outing.

Lee, who averaged 16 points on 54.2 percent shooting, 12.5 rebounds and 5.5 assists in the season's first two games against the Clippers, didn't play at all in the final 17 1/2 minutes. He sat on the bench with 10 points on 30 percent shooting, with five rebounds and two assists.

The Warriors, who had trailed by 20 or more points in a game only three times this season, had tied the season's previous largest deficit of 28 points by the second quarter. They let an opponent make more than half of its shots for only the second time all season, with the first being Oklahoma City's 50.6 percent on Nov. 18.

The Warriors had 19 assists to 16 turnovers, got outscored in the paint 56-28 and got beat on second-chance points 22-6. With a garbage-time run, the Warriors managed to avoid their most-lopsided loss to the Clippers, which was a 28-point defeat in 2009.

The Warriors were catching the Clippers on the second game of a back-to-back for the third straight time. After the Clippers didn't have starting small forward Caron Butler (personal reasons) Wednesday, the NBA's top-scoring reserve, Jamal Crawford, missed Saturday's game because of a sore left foot.

It didn't matter. Maybe nothing would have mattered on this night.

Curry and Lee were pulled midway through the third quarter, when their team was trailing 88-56. Paul then ignited the 70th consecutive sellout crowd at Staples with three consecutive alley-oop lobs to DeAndre Jordan.

The Warriors had showed some signs of life in the second quarter, but it only lasted long enough to illustrate how much more life existed in the Clippers' uniforms. An 11-2 run by the Warriors trimmed the deficit to 37-23, but the Clippers answered with an 11-2 run of their own, including seven points in a 53-second span by Paul.

The Clippers led by as many as 28 points in the second quarter, torching the Warriors for 67 points on 61.4 percent shooting in the first half - both season highs for Warriors opponents. Golden State missed 10 consecutive field-goal attempts as the Clippers went on a 15-0 run in the first quarter.

Different outcome

The Warriors dominated the Clippers on Wednesday, and the Clippers returned the favor Saturday. A look at some stats from the games (margins are in relationship to Warriors):
